Does it all work? I'm fairly sure it does(correct me if I'm wrong).

Why not get a cheaper graphics card if you're planning to upgrade soon? Something like a x700 would be a good bang for the buck.

 

[Froboy7391_99]

It's only 5 bucks cheaper and I'm a Nvidia fan. I'll probaly sell to my friend anyways he's planning on getting a cheap amd sometime and this would be a step up from whatever 64 mb card he has now.

 

[diduknowthat]

oh nevermind, there was once a 50 dollar one.

 

[Froboy7391_99]

Looked around more and their is a Open Box x700SE for 50 that I think I will get.
Now I have 33 dollars to add somewhere's else

personally id go:
e6300 - $163 by march break
ds3 - $133
2GB DDR2 800 G.skill RAM- $184.99
x700 - 50
160gb hdd - 60
xclio 550 - 80
centurion 5 case - 50

that equals 721 w/o shipping but is much more solid

Looks good, except you are forgetting the DVD drive and the upgraded HSF.

I like what he had currently put together. Didn't look to shabby for 800.

 

[Froboy7391_99]

Ya I would rather have the 6400 and the corsair, and now I can get the ds3 anyways.
